2. Bellwork Time! Work with your table on this!
List at least 5 foods that you ate for breakfast today.
Try to list as many organs that you think helped in the digestion of your breakfast.

3. See how many you got correct!
The person in the middle stand up and HONESTLY say how many you got!

4. 5 Teaching Points Food provides us with energy.
Helps grow and repair cells.
Our body requires 6 essential nutrients `to function.
There are many organs involved in digestion, which is when food is broken down into usable forms of energy (ATP).
There are two types of digestive processes, mechanical and chemical reactions.

5. Food and its purposes Food provides us with energy for everything
Provides materials for growing and for repairing tissues
Food contain nutrients, substances that provide energy and help carry out essential processes like respiration, etc.

6. Carbohydrates Provides short term energy
Made up of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen
Make materials to make cell parts
Pasta, rice, potato, etc.

7. Fats 2x energy than carbohydrates (long term energy)
Makes up cell membrane
Protect/support internal organs
Insulates our body
Healthy Fats
Unhealthy Fats
Unsaturated Fat
Saturated Fat
Trans Fat
Cholesterol

8. Vitamins Can sometimes be made by our body
Helps in chemical reactions, like blood clotting
All vitamin helps your body based on its letter (Vitamin C is food for your skin)

9. Minerals Do not provide energy
Keep our body healthy (calcium provides strong bones, etc.)
Not made by living things
We get them by eating them
Absorbed by plants through roots

10. Proteins Meat, cheese, eggs, and dairy product
Used for tissue growth and repair
Chains of amino acid makes a big protein
Skin diseases results from lack of protein

11. Water Also known as H20 Allows organisms to function properly
Soften downs food and makes it easier to digest
Helps in blood circulation because its a good solvent

12. Let’s have some Brain-pop!

13. Digestion
Food is converted into energy (ATP) first through digestion and then cellular respiration
Mechanical Digestion: food is broken down physically
Chemical Digestion: chemicals break down food

14. Organs involved
Mouth, salivary gland, esophagus, liver, gallbladder, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum and anus

15. The mouth and the esophagus
Saliva is an enzyme that helps in both mechanical and chemical in mouth
Food flows into the stomach through the esophagus
Esophagus: tube containing mucus helps in flowing of food from the mouth to the stomach (peristalsis)

16. The stomach
Stomach stores food and more mechanical processes takes place
Acids such as digestive juice/pepsin, hydrochloric acid, help in chemical reactions
The liver produces bile, which helps in breaking fat particles

17. Absorption Nutrients are absorbed from the food
Villis in the small intestine, help in absorptions and circulation of nutrients

18. Ending of Digestion Water is absorbed in the large intestine
The waste goes out of your anus and gets released

19. Pick a Corner! Instructions There are 4 corners, A, B, C, and D.
Listen to the question carefully.
If you think you heard the right answer, go to the corner with the letter that represents your answer.
DO NOT FOLLOW ANYONE!!!

40. Arranging Processes of Digestion
Instructions
The steps of digestion given below are WRONG.
Re-arrange them in order that we eat food in.
Raise your hand high once you are done!
The first one to get the correct answer will get a lovely prize and will also have to perform a surprise act with it!

41. Here we GO! Water is absorbed in the large intestine.
The food flows into the stomach through the esophagus.
Waste products are released from †he ånus.
Both mechanical and chemical takes place in the mouth.
Nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine.
Food enters your mouth.
Acids such as digestive juice/pepsin, hydrochloric acid, help in chemical reactions in the stomach.
